As part of a wider societal conversation on representation in the workforce, they strive to highlight the challenges faced by women in the legal profession, creating a platform for discussion amongst students, staff and professionals.

On the 14th of November 2017, Women and Law hosted a panel with leading global law firm, Herbert Smith Freehills.

The firm has been recognised for this commitment, named in The Times Top 50 Employers for Women in the UK for the third year in a row in 2017.
